Sadly, I don't think your average gamer/user minds whether content is made by an end-user or not. But I do like the idea that there will be

hehe, I'm just looking at the NPIRL interview right now

uh...some undesirable elements filtered out. Serious businesses may flock to this platform.

I think the high graphics requirement ("Even a 4850"? That's a latest gen card!) will be a bit limiting to uptake.

Agreed on that. But they seem to be taking their time about it, at least. I miss the feel of SL prior to the big media boom & backlash

It certainly looks pretty...

I think StevieB is right. If this is at least a year away from going live, probably longer, then the requirements aren't all that steep

And people creating for it will likely know how to optimise textures for lower-poly models.

i think its intriguing. I already like some of what theyre doing. I think the developer/partner approach is interesting. It will avoid alot

of the issues SL faces. The question will be how open that program is for new creators

and of course, whether or not they allow sex

i like that there won't be point to point teleporting or free flying. And that developers can control the experience of their worlds

Depending on how free content creation is, I could see BM taking alot of the SL roleplaying community

Haha, I remarked on that too (teleporting). When I first started I thought it was a bad idea. A lot of areas go unseen/neglected that way.

i think p2p tping and unconstrained cameras both really hurt the sense of a physical space in SL

that looks very cool
